VCBeat (WeChat:(VCBeat) It has been learned that Changzhou MiDIVI Medical Information Technology Co., Ltd. (hereinafter referred to as “MiDIVI”) announced the successive completion of tens of millions of RMB in its Series A and Series A+ financing rounds. The two rounds were conducted in close succession. The Series A round was led by Weilin Capital, with participation from Changzhou Venture Capital and Probe Capital. The Series A+ round was exclusively invested by the renowned industrial capital Shangyuan Capital, with Probe Capital serving as the exclusive financial advisor. The proceeds from these financing rounds will be used to accelerate the R&D and commercialization of MiDIVI’s orthopedic and oncology product pipelines, as well as to expand the company’s team.
Regarding the consecutive recognition from investors, Pan Zhen, founder of MiDIVI, stated that this success stems from the expanding application of mixed reality (MR) technology in the medical field, combined with the company’s sustained investment in its MR surgical platform and accumulation of clinical experience over the past few years. This has fostered unique insights and enabled the validation of a viable business model for MR medical products, delivering significant improvements in therapeutic outcomes, patient experience, and workflow optimization—placing MiDIVI at the forefront globally. Following this round of financing, MiDIVI will expand its product applications from orthopedics and oncology to additional clinical specialties and surgical procedures.
MiDIVI, founded in 2017, is a medical pioneer as the first company to offer a mixed reality surgical platform that simultaneously navigates both soft and hard tissues. As early as 2019, it obtained China’s first product registration certificate based on mixed reality technology. Its independently developed MR (Mixed Reality) series of products covers various application scenarios, including surgical medical education, clinical practice, remote collaboration, and surgical navigation, bringing new innovation-driven factors to the technological iteration of smart surgery in the new era.
MiDIVI has accumulated profound expertise in the field of mixed reality (MR) healthcare. The company has secured over ten patents, with dozens more invention patent applications pending. Its independently developed MR-based knee surgery navigation system passed type testing in 2021 and has entered the registration-related clinical trial phase. It is expected to receive regulatory approval for market launch soon, positioning MiDIVI as the first domestic company in the MR surgical navigation sector. Meanwhile, its MR-based lung navigation system, currently under development, has completed animal trials and entered investigator-initiated clinical studies. It is projected to enter the regulatory registration phase within the year, making it the first known MR-based surgical navigation product under development globally, based on publicly available information. Currently, MiDIVI’s pipeline covers most surgical scenarios, and the company aims to provide smart surgical solutions worldwide in the future.
With the successful completion of its Series A+ financing, MiDIVI will accelerate its industrialization strategy. With the support of industrial capital, it has entered into more comprehensive and in-depth cooperation with Weigao Group in the medical sector. At the clinical level, MiDIVI has established integrated production-research partnerships with dozens of hospitals, including The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Xiangya Hospital of Central South University, Nanjing Hospital Affiliated to Nanjing Medical University, Shanghai Chest Hospital, Shanghai Ninth People’s Hospital, The First Affiliated Hospital of Zhengzhou University, Wuhan Union Hospital, and Shanghai Changhai Hospital. Furthermore, many renowned multinational corporations, such as Microsoft, Siemens Healthineers, and AstraZeneca, are actively engaging in technical collaborations with MiDIVI on smart surgical products. In the future, MiDIVI is expected to introduce a broader range of smart surgical solutions into the global industry chain.
